K12 Tech Talk

This is the big episode we have been looking forward to for weeks. We sat down with the CEO of Infinite Campus, Charlie Kratsch, and Sean Marlow, Senior VP at Tyler Technologies. This entire episode is dedicated to the recently announced partnership between Tyler and Infinite Campus. We ask questions like, what does migration look like, how many years of data will be imported, what about IEPs, what about court order files, how expensive is Infinite Campus, and the list goes on. We also got a quick tour of Charlie's office and his collection of cool stuff.
We realize that we might not have asked every question that needed to be asked, but we feel like if you are a Tyler SIS customer you will have a much better idea of what to expect over the next few months if you decide to migrate to Infinite Campus.

Tonight's episode features an email from listener Bill about a recent DDOS attack on his school. The concerning thing about this attack is that it has happened twice in a week from the same IP address. He is worried they are trying to find his firewall's breaking point.
